Alsea denunciation that to Genoa the telematizzazione of the port wage two times

September 12, 2017
The Alsea - Lombardic Association Shippers and Haulers has denounced that to Genoa the telematizzazione of the port wage two times. The association, that it is the greatest Italian territorial organization of the field shipments and transports, has explained that from 1°th August cargo unit established from the Authority of Harbour System of the Ligurian Sea Western for the migration of the computer science system E-port from the management of the same Harbour Authority to National the Logistic Platform has taken effect a rate of 1,23 euros to container/.
"Made the opportune verifications, but - it has specified the Alsea - it is uncovered that this new cost does not replace the tax paid from the operators in customs bubble for the maintenance of E-port but simply one joins to this with the result that the operators find themselves to pay two times for the same service".
"We have asked, through our Fedespedi federation, to the Harbour Authority - president of Alsea, Betty Schiavoni has announced - to avoid this double cost on the goods, but they have answered that for six months a double payment will exist and that after this period of time they are engaged see again the situation with a possible decrease of the taxes debited in customs bill".
Alsea has emphasized that the Milanese enterprises consider this procedure not corrected as cannot be paid two times for the same service. Moreover - it has specified the association - the rate so as previewed it discounts obvious defects of bastardy in the method and the merit that Alsea reserve to contest itself in every center.
Alsea therefore has written to the AdSP of the Ligurian Sea Western asking see again their position. The association has evidenced that "this system, in fact, could generate additional costs for the goods that journey for the port of Genoa for some million euro".
Moreover Alsea has sped up "in general terms greater transparency and information at the market regarding the application of National the Logistic Platform of which it is assisted to the first practical application in the port of Genoa".
"We are a lot worried - Betty Schiavoni has rimarcato - because from what we are seeing the operativity of National the Logistic Platform seems to for operators procure, as we were worried, new important costs without knowing if and which benefits will bring to the Italian traffics. The risk is that large players the total ones choose various roads for the goods that manage, without to touch our ports".
